A few years ago, I was just an ordinary retail investor who had lost a lot.
After three years in the market, I went from 10,000, to 30,000, to losing all 60,000. I couldn't even understand what a stop loss was; all I knew was that the more I lost, the more I wanted to double down, and the more I doubled down, the more I wanted to recover. In the end, my account balance was only 1,200 U, and I didn't even want to withdraw it.
That night, I turned off my phone notifications and couldn't sleep at all, reflecting on every single trade I had lost. It wasn't the market that caused the losses, but my understanding and operations.
Later, I started to think 'in reverse' and tried a method that others said was impossible. At first, I didn't believe it, but I told myself: since I only have this little left, even if I crash again, it wouldn't matter.
I used 1,200 U to try rolling over my positions, but unlike traditional aggressive methods, I set three strict rules for myself:
No chasing after trends or going all in
Segmented account operations
Every trade has a complete trading plan
There’s one trade I remember particularly well: ETH pulled up from a previous low and then fluctuated. I set up a reversal long in advance and captured nearly 10% of the swing. This trade allowed me to roll from 1,200 to nearly 1,900 U. That day, I wasn't excited; instead, I immediately locked in profits.
Just like that, I rolled from 1,200 to 23,000 U in less than 2 months, each step felt like walking on a tightrope. However, as long as the strategy and risk control were clear, it was actually much more stable than those who went all in.
Looking back now, expanding the account was the easiest part. The real challenge was changing my operational logic.
So, if you are also in a losing streak, still relying on your gut to make trades, and think you have bad luck, maybe you should stop and consider if you are going in the wrong direction.
This method is not suitable for everyone.
